There are so many surprises in life, alas these days, this isn’t one of them:
And neither is this:
Nor is this:
Ok this is a little surprising:
Not that the bill was phony, but that he admitted it publicly
And finally this:
I do confess there was a time when that one would have surprised me, but not anymore.
Democrats have two extremely unfair advantage when it comes to every election. The first advantage is produced by mainstream news outlets. It is painfully obvious to any rational human being that the media is made up of sycophants and cheerleaders for the political left.
In every election cycle, it is abundantly easier for Democrats to appear to have “momentum” when the media prattle on about their supposed momentum. It is easier to declare Democratic campaigns are “flawless” when the media steamroll over any flaw that emerges. It is easier to look “really smart” when journalists tell everyone you’re smart, and if voters don’t understand you have a stunning intellect, then you’re “misunderstood.”
The media act like the wind beneath Kamala’s wings, and then they praise her flying skills.
Her weaknesses are buried as Donald Trump’s strengths are attacked. She fails to empathize with Gold Star parents whose children were killed in Afghanistan, and the media attack Trump for having the chutzpah to show up at Arlington National Cemetery at their invitation. The only scandals that aren’t fake news are the Republican scandals.
Just about half the population get all of their news from sources that are extremely biased. They only get half the story and what they do get is extremely distorted.
These same Americans lack the ability to question what they hear coming from their TVs and read in their newspapers. They seek out only sources online that conform to their progressive beliefs system, and they attack anyone who dares to disagree with them. That is because the American educational system was replaces with a Marxist brainwashing conglomeration decades ago. Here are three quotes by the great Thomas Sowell which illustrate just how dysfunctional our educational system truly is.
The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.
Our whole educational system, from the elementary schools to the universities, is increasingly turning out people who have never heard enough conflicting arguments to develop the skills and discipline required to produce a coherent analysis, based on logic and evidence. The implications of having so many people so incapable of confronting opposing arguments with anything besides ad hominem responses reach far.
Whether blatant or subtle, brainwashing has become a major, time-consuming activity in American education at all levels. Some zealots have not hesitated to use the traditional brain-washing technique of emotional trauma in the classroom to soften up children for their message. Gruesome and graphic movies on nuclear war, for example, have reduced some school children to tears—after which the teacher makes a pitch for whatever movement claims to reduce such dangers. Another technique is the ambush shock: A seventh-grade teacher in Manhattan, for example, innocently asked her students to discuss their future plans—after which she said: “Haven’t any of you realized that in this world with nuclear weapons no one in this class will be alive in the year 2000?”75 These
One of the things that my Pastor tends to harp on is the importance of seeing oneself in the light of truth.
It’s one of the most important things in life because unless you acknowledge reality you can’t solve any problem you might have, in terms of religion Christ being “The way, the truth and the life” means that you have to be willing to face the truth about yourself to follow him. This is why hell for all it’s torments is actually a mercy because those who choose hell, and every soul who ends up there from the Demons on down to the highest and lowest of humans, does so because the presence of God and the truth is to them more unbearable than anything else.
That instantly came to mind when I saw this video from Germany.
Now notice that this is being said explicitly, in a crowd, right to the face of the people there. None of his compatriots are correcting him or suggesting otherwise.
This is also completely consistent with what is happening with Islamic converts to wit
Last April, a teenager in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, named Alexander Scott Mercurio was caught plotting jihad massacres in local churches, “using weapons, including knives, firearms, and fire.” On New Year’s Eve in 2022, a 19-year-old named Trevor Bickford traveled from his home in Wells, Maine, to Times Square, where he attacked three NYPD officers with a machete. In April 2021, a Zion, Illinois, man named Edward Schimenti got thirteen and a half years in prison for aiding the Islamic State (ISIS).
These are just three men who are on a long and ever-lengthening list of converts to Islam who turn to terrorism, even in the United States, and are largely ignored by the establishment media. As everyone knows or should know by now, the media is interested only in shoring up its narrative, not in reporting actual facts. Now another young man has joined their ranks.
Las Vegas’ KLAS reported Thursday that Joshua Robles, 16, has been “accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired terror attack.” After Robles was arrested last November, prosecutors considered him to be so dangerous that they asked that his bail be set at a million dollars;
That’s from Robert Spencer who with Pam Geller has been warning about the reality about Islam for over a decade and has been rewarded at worst with constant threats to his life and at best tagged as a racist (Islam is a race?) and at best persona non grata in places like England where the menace of Islam has reached a point where the Englishmen who banned him are becoming persona non grata in their own country.
As I’ve warned myself for years the Ghastly Tom Hagen math declare that Islam will only grow stronger in the US and those who are taking over streets in major Democrat held cities are only emboldened by the displays of weakness that they are being greeted with.
Now the reality is that if there is to be a confrontation it is better that it happens now because every day they grow in strength, frankly it was much better if it happened a decade or two decades ago but we choose not to see things in the light of truth and thus we are where we are today.
Islam is feeling it’s oats and it has to be stopped now or fought later and the fight will be a bloody one. It will be a lot less bloody if it comes today and would have been much less bloody if it was stopped before but that’s where we are.
I expect this warning to be ignored and I don’t expect to be alive when the choice between submission and resistance can’t be ignored, but I do know this, when it comes and we face the knife know that we are only there because Western Civilization in general and America in particular choose to ignore what we were plainly told, both by those who warned us of our foes, and by our foes who no longer bothered to hide their goals.
As the reviews for the Vice President Harris experimental interview come in and people realize that this person somehow rose to the rank of Senator and Vice President without the ability to complete a coherent thought we’re approaching a fascinating situation. This twitter exchange sums it up:
All of this has established a few basic facts that I find rather disturbing.
I am convinced that this election is going to come down to a single factor:
“Is Kamala Harris credible enough as an electable candidate to make the results of a 2nd steal of the Presidential race plausible to those who allowed the first one to take place?”
This was the key reason why Joe Biden had to go, after that first debate any result that suggested that Joe Biden would defeat Donald Trump became so implausible that even those who disliked Trump enough to allow the steal last time figuring it was less harmful to the nation that acknowledging it would not go along.
Kamala is not yet at that point but could reach it before election day.
Could we actually see yet another swap?
